The Elyton Land Company.

No story in the history of modern
progress present more charming features
and Alladinlike incidents than that relat.
ing to the Elyton Land company. Its
history has become universal and forms
probably the greatest factor in the new
era that has dawned upon the South since
the war. While others are doing much for
Birmingham, the Elyton company are
still progressing, and have authorized the
placing of 50, 100000 within year in pub.
lie enterprises, 100000 of which will
build a huge rolling mill. The entire
history Of their work in expendiDg money
on Birmingham reads like & romance.
Starting with only 100000 cash few
years ago, they have grown to enormous
wealth, and are now worth not less than
s15,OO0,000. How many millions they
have paid out in dividends 10 their stock.
holders would be hard to estimate, but
lucky indeed is that man Who owns only
a few shares in a corporation whose stock
is now worth $4,000 share, S10o being
the par value Of the shares. Their work
has heen always conservative, but emin-
emily progressive, and the end is not yet.
They are not by any means monopoly,
but their every movement has been
marked by that broad liberality which has
tended to build Birmingham into one of
the future great cities of America.

The Talking Machine.

New YORK, Oct. 14--A machine that
is intended to take the place of private
secretaries and shorthand writers general.
ly will be put on the market next month.
It is the perfectedl phonograph of the
wizard of Menlo Park. The new ma
chine will be smaller than the ordinary
type writer, and will be sold at retail for
about S10O. The Edison Company has
factory in Bloomfield, where the ma
chimes are being made. The company
claims that the machine will reproduce
the voice so clearly and accurately that
the words cannot be misunderstood. The
owner of the machine merely has to talk
into it as he would into a telephone, and
when he is through his typewriter can
ungrind his remarks and materialize
them on paper.
The public may have chance to buy
two kinds of monographs. The Ameri-
can Graphophome Company is also pre-,
pairing to get out machines to take the
place of atenographers. This company
was organized in Washington six months
ago, and is working under the patents of
Alexander G. Bell and Sumner Taintor.
The Edison Company think the other
company's machine may be an infringe.
ment of the Edison phonograph.

It Pays to Think.

A striking instance of the extent to
which labor saving machinery is carried
nowadays, says the Industrial Journal
is shown in the tin can industry. Every
body knows that tin cans are manufactur.
ed by machinery. One of the machines
used in the process soldiers the longitu-
dinal seams of the cans at the rate of fifty
minute, the cans rushing along in q
continuous stream. Now, of course, q
drop or two of solder is left on the can.
The drop on the outside can be easily
cleaned away, but it is not SO easy to
secure the drop left on the inside. It
would't do, of course, to retard the speed
of the work-better waste the drop, it is
only q triae, anyhow, and to 80 men in
100 it would not seem worth minutes
attention. The hundredth man worked
for firm using one of these machines,
and he set about devising an ingenious
arrangement for wiping the inside of the
can, thereby saving that drop of solder
and leaving none to come in contact with
the contents of the can. He was encou.
ragged by his employers to patent his
invention, did so, and has already receiv-
ed several thousand dollars in royalties
for its use. AS the machine soldiers TO-
900 cans day, the solder saved by his
invention amounted to S15 day. 1t
pays to think as you work.
